Doubles Methods and Variations

This information came from Melvyn Hiller in 2000 - if you are using any of it, please credit him.
I have only updated parts of it since then, so some variations may have been named since.

The method numbers are mostly Central Council references. Those with the prefix "H" are from
Melvyn Hiller's collection, which include the "New" versions of twin-hunt methods, which
aren't recognised by the CC as separate methods, as well as asymmetrical methods that are
in the CC collection, but don't have a CCC number. Those with the prefix "X" were not in the Hiller
collection. Note that the asymmetrical methods and variations do not give true 120s on their
own and are usually rung spliced in pairs.

Names in capital letters indicate standard calls for the method. * indicates an unnamed variation.
Names in italics are alternative names that have also been used for the variation.

See here for a list of calls. Note that calls for Reverse Grandsire,
Reverse Antelope, Reverse Wollaton and Reverse Newark happen below the treble and are hence the
reverse of the normal call, even though the code is given as a normal letter.

Use 'Control F' to search this page in your browser, if you are looking for a particular variation name.

Other references: Central Council Collection of Doubles Methods (part) and
an article by Tony Smith in the Ringing World of 1986 (page 896). A collection
by Geoffrey K. Dodd and Roy H. Jones was published in the Ringing World in 1964, with a supplement in 1966. I have used page references
from these collections, but earlier references to the original naming of the variations would be welcome.
